Question:
Why will the first two links in each course open a popup,
but the remaining links will not?
Answer:
This
problem is caused by having multiple popup blockers
running simultaneously on Internet Explorer. Many people
have a Google, MSN, AOL, Yahoo!, etc. toolbar on their
browser, each providing a handful of features including
popup blocking. Some users may even have multiple toolbars.
Users must make sure that each toolbar allows pop-ups to
our site.
Additionally, newer versions of Internet
Explorer also have a built-in pop-up blocker. Please be certain
that the Internet Explorer allows pop-ups from our website
as this seems to be the source of the problem
Pictured in the graphic
below, a user trying to access one of the CFSPH courses
has a Google toolbar. The Google pop-up blocker has been
set to permit pop-ups from this site. However, Internet Explorer
is still suppressing the pop-ups as indicated by the highlighted
alert bar at the top of the page that says "Pop-up
blocked. To see this pop-up or additional options click here...."
when the user tries to select one of the modules.
If you see the same alert
bar on your computer, use the following instructions to suppress
Internet Explorer's popup blocker when using our website. First,
use your mouse to click on the alert bar. You will then see
the following choices:
Select "Always
Allow Pop-ups from This Site..." A small window
will open asking you to verify that you want to allow pop-ups
from ".cfsph.iastate.edu".
Select "Yes".
Finally, another small window will
open warning you about resending information. Simply press
"Retry". Immediately the module you selected will open and
you can proceed.
